Being married is not the same as having a kid because being married to another adult who can take care of themselves to a degree is different than having a kid that is completely dependent on you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's hard enough to be in a marriage and then have a kid, then kids: it changes everything.
The thing is being honest with yourself. There's no rule that says you have to be married and have kids.
Even though you're married, you're still individuals. You still have to grow and nurture your individuality.
For someone to say that marriage is only about procreation is a joke. I didn't marry my husband to have children. I married my husband because I love my husband.
I think that, as with marriage, you just know when it's time to have kids.
I think marriage is only necessary if you've got children. It's quite nice for them.
A hundred years ago, if you had a child out of marriage, you'd be a social disgrace. Today women feel comfortable enough economically and culturally to bring up a child without a recognized commitment from a man.
Being married gives one one's position like nothing else can.
Marriage is an attempt to solve problems together which you didn't even have when you were on your own.
The thing is, when you have a child with someone, like it or not, you're going to have to have a continuing relationship with them.
